The soft-wing drone will be put into the haze test

Xinhua Beijing, March 4 (reporter Chan Chunxin) in order to use the aviation platform to carry out heavy fog elimination work, China developed the flexible wing unmanned aerial vehicle will be the first round of the fog test, is expected to be early with its heavy load, long flight time and other advantages into the fog and haze weather control work. Reporter 4th from the aviation industry group learned that in recent years, heavy fog dense haze phenomenon is becoming more and more serious, not only affect transportation and people travel, more direct threat to national health. It has become one of the focus of China aviation industry to use aviation platform to carry out heavy fog elimination efficiently. As China's first wing-parachute UAV, the flexible wing unmanned aerial vehicle developed by AVIC Aerospace March will be organized by the China Meteorological Administration to organize the application of the symposium, and in the airport or port for the first round of the fog test. Ma Yongxie, chairman of AVIC Aerospace, said the wing of the wing is soft and is a low-speed drone that provides lift to the wing with Ram-wing umbrellas. Figuratively speaking is an automatic control system, can take off, cruise and accurate landing, unmanned power wing umbrella. Because it can carry about 40% of take-off weight payload for flying operations, flexible wing UAV payload, relatively equal take-off weight of the fixed-wing UAV, the flexible wing UAV payload is about 3 times times the fixed-wing aircraft. Due to the heavy weight of the catalyst to be carried in the mist-removing operation, a larger payload represents a take-off and landing that can carry more catalysts and meteorological detection equipment for operation. In contrast to the aircraft used in China's existing fog-removing operations, in low seeding height and low visibility condition, the flexible wing UAV is not only not limited by the flight safety of the traditional aircraft, but also has the advantages of large payload, smooth flight, long flight time, safe and reliable, convenient take-off and landing and easy operation, which can make up for the current manned aircraft, Fixed-wing drones and drone helicopters cannot reach the mission range. Project experts said that the type of unmanned aerial vehicles in addition to fog operations, can also be used for electric power patrol line, agricultural sowing, rescue and relief, aerial photogrammetry and other fields.
